Adam Faucett began performing solo in 2006 when the demise of Russellville, Arkansas-based band, Taught the Rabbits, pushed him toward Chicago. He returned to Arkansas in 2007 to record his first solo album, The Great Basking Shark, and began touring nationally. 2008’s Show Me Magic, Show Me Out followed, featuring Faucett’s band, The Tall Grass, and a relentless tour schedule soon led to shows with Jason Isbell, Damien Jurado and Lucero.

 

2011 saw the release of More Like A Temple, which received praise from outlets including American Songwriter, Paste Magazine, No Depression and Uprooted Music Review. Temple also gained overseas support, landing at #14 on the EuroAmericana chart and received 5 stars from Altcountry.NL, bringing Adam to Europe for the first time.

 

2014’s Blind Water Finds Blind Water—Faucett’s first release with Last Chance Records—was named to American Songwriter’s “Top 50 Albums of 2014,” and found him back in Europe. In addition, he spent time as international and national tour support for Chuck Ragan, Abigail Austin, King Buzzo, The Bottle Rockets and Pallbearer.

 

It Took the Shape of a Bird (Last Chance Records) arrived in September 2018. Named to Pop Matters' "Top 20 Americana Albums of 2018," it was a collection of Faucett's most personal, unbodied, and darkly beautiful song's to date. In support, he once again hit the road and the skies with a  full-band tour of the western U.S., followed shortly by a solo return to Europe.

​

The following spring Faucett returned to the western U.S. for six weeks of solo dates. With a pained throat from the onset, what he hoped was a cold proved to be much more, and it made for a painful and mentally-draining run. He finished the tour, however, and immediately sought medical attention. The diagnosis was a cyst on the vocal cords; so began the months-long search for the right surgeon.

​

Following a successful surgery and nearly a year of recovery, Faucett was back in action, only to be thwarted after just a few shows due to the Covid pandemic shutdowns, which forced a slew of cancellations, including two fully-booked tours. But emerging from the pandemic, Faucett found himself armed with new material and as direct support for sludge metal stalwarts, Weedeater--an unlikely pairing on paper, but it just works. After all, genre-defining has never been his M.O. As American Songwriter put it, ". . . a little too far out for the pop-folk, too rockin’ for the traditionalists, too mercurial for the mainstream," citing his "often dark, gothic vibe." In keeping with that, his fourth run with Weedeater kicked off August 28, 2005.

​​

Faucett's sixth solo album, New Variations of The Reaper (Last Chance Records), sees its official release on September 19, 2025. A touch too beautiful to call plaintive, Variations winds the listener through surreal dreamscapes and reminds them that "Nobody Wanna See This Alone." And like his previous releases, it has a strong sense of place--Arkansas.
